Keep my gal at home . . . . Great cos have my own routine, do what I like, when I like!! Woman about 2 fields down from us has three horses, so can go riding with her and use her arena, best of both worlds!!

Just had a phone call from one of my good friends, her 5 year old mare has just died after emergency colic surgery. Jolene was kept on the eventing yard where I work, and was one of the nicest horses I have worked with in a long time. Fay (my friend) has been through such a lot with this mare...

My girl goes out at about 6.45am, as I have to be at work early - she has breakfast before she goes out, and several mountains of hay - always scoffs that first, and hopefully the grass will have thawed a bit before she gets to it!

Hey all, Some of you may remember me posting a while ago about my Dubes leaking, and me sending them back. Well recieved a letter yesterday, saying that I can have a new pair!!! Whoop! They decided that I may have had a dodgy pair, as only had them for about 11months . . and they were...

We use pink powder at work (eventing yard) is fab for those that have gone off food/fussy feeders/and those that look like they need a little 'boost'. They all do well on it, and have seen good results. Easy to get hold of, and not to expensive either!

I love my racesafe R200 (I think thats what its called!) really comfy and non-restricting, yet feels like it will actually protect you! My boss has worn his around Badders and Burghley, so he must trust it too! lol!

Apes usually has about 1 or 2 a week (depending on how filthy she is!) she has a great base, and huggge banks, but if I was worried I'd put more in!

Hey all, Im off to olympia on monday (wahey!) and Im hoping to buy a thermatex rug. Now Ive heard quite a few times that their sizes are rather different compared to other brands. My girlie is only 15.1hh, yet takes a 6ft 3 rug (Horsewre Ireland rugs)!!! I dont know why, as she isnt really that...

We all have them at work - and I actually found that covers from my previous hats were too small for it!! Even though I still wear the same size hat! Weird!

It was me that posted about my dubes leaking - bit of a bug*er, but will still admit that they are fab to ride in and very comfy!!! To be honest I think the only reason mine split and began to leak was because I didnt clean/ treat them enough!!! How naughty!!

OMG im sooo excited!!!!!!!! Going on the monday! Whoop whoop! Getting my girlie a new bridle and breastplate (as hers really is falling apart, honest!) and yes, id love a thermatex too! Been wanting one for ages, deffo on the list now that shes clipped! Ahhhh 4 days to go!!!!!!!!!

Ape is out from 6.45am until about 5.30pm - when she is always ready and waiting to come in and have her tea!!! Being 23, I think its important that she gets enough turnout to avoid breathing/stiffness problems. But I like to have her in at night so that she can dry off and have some decent hay...

I dont like weatherbeetas as they always tend to be too tight in the shoulder for my girl! I love Horseware rugs - and although its not a 'proper' stable rug, have just bought the Rambo under blanket plus which is gorgeous!! (about £40) 300g, with a neck cover thats lined with shiney material so...

my girlie is 23, and rugged up to her eyeballs!! She is still in regualr work, and clipped out though, so rugless is not an option!!! Even if she was retired and left in the field to grow a thick coat - I still wouldnt be happy, as think of all the extra energy she would be using just trying to...

hey all, hope your well! Sorry to put a downer on things - as I know these boots have a fab reputation . . . but to be honest im really not very impressed with mine!!! Had them last xmas, and ok they've had quite a hard life (im an event groom) i wear them almost every day and they get pretty...
